As can be seen by the Majuro tide gauge record below, there have been stable sea level conditions in the region over the last 20 years. The inundation the secretary talked about was just an extreme storm event, which all coastal sites occasionally experience. It has nothing to do with sea level rise or climate change:

Marshall Islands President Christopher Loeak will present the Majuro Declaration to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York during General Assembly Leaders’ week starting on September 23. The declaration will be a “Pacific gift,” organizers say, “a platform for an upward spiral of action to urgently reduce and phase down greenhouse gas pollution.”

The financially challenged EU has successfully bribed Pacific Small Island States so that they can be used as an instrument to lead the developed world even further into a black hole of green debt.

I'm left wondering how these loons will twist things if Europe begins to feel the grip of a new ice age. It's a 50-50 tossup whether the globe will begin warming or cooling once this flat-line situation we find ourselves in currently passes. And for the record I'd like to know how these geniuses managed to miss this flat-line we are currently wallowing in.

How does that square with the climate change narrative? Not to worry however - these morons will come up with some excuse in an attempt to part us with our money if/when we're all standing azzhole deep in snow in spring and fall.

And if you really think the money will somehow manage to find its way to any of those Pacific Islands you too are a moron.

I have no way of knowing what the weather will be in 2-5-20 or more years down the road any more than these so-called climate experts - but I'm guessing it'll have more to do with whatever 'Ole Sol' is doing more than any human activity.

More Fraudulence - when will it stop.Dr. Morner know more about the sea level than any man alive,and well what can you say about the EU's Hedegaard, a total shill !!!

Hey you guys see the Fraudulent Climate of Hokum Science website for hundreds of videos about Climate, Sea levels, and the current Geopolitical situation, "War on Terror" = "War on Environment". The Agendae are ALL related you know. It isn't conspiracy theory, It IS Conspiracy FACT. DENY DENY DENY - but deny what ? Nobody denies that the climate changes - get used to it ... /rant mode off :-)

if stupid had a pic in the dictionary, it would be a dead heat between the w.h. and the u.n. how did so many clueless, incompetent morons get into so many positions of power?

just this past couple of months we have the artic ice increasing +60 %. earliest artic winter on record? cold weather records being broken (and not fully reported in the u.s., as one would expect) left and right, worldwide. they are in a hurry to spend this tax $$ before the l.i.v.'s wake up and realize the fire is out, and so is the $$, not that our wanna-be-king-kenyan cares. this is all about more handout$ to more halfwits. continue destruction of u.s. - that is all.

if you can't independently prove and accurately predict the causes of global climate change, like anything else, you don't have a handle on it. guess our peace prize winner will come out w/ a scientific/engineering degree he forgot to mention, just any time now. that sounds real scientific, telling everybody working in an area that the science is what she says it is. probably just another affirmative action queen showing how she got where she is. loser.

this type evil is corrupting everything it touches, just as predicted 5 + years ago. I seem to be able to predict the future much better than the obama-clones. of course, my generation has already seen the multiple fail of marxism/communism/socialism and the wretched poverty and soul killing devastation left in its wake. it is only able to survive when it attaches itself (like a leech) to capitalism and uses those resources until it strangles its host slowly to death. that's where we are now.

The political fraud--not innocent belief, but fraud--rides on the back of a just-as-frightening general scientific incompetence (and more fraud), that allowed the idea of human-caused "global warming" (now called "climate change", simply because the globe is not warming) to have risen to the level of general acceptance among scientists, instead of being smacked down by scientists with the basic skills needed in their profession, common sense, and honesty. The entire system--both academic science and politics--is broken, and all of our institutions suborned by the criminally incompetent and the politically criminal.

"Climate change has arrived. It is the greatest threat to the livelihoods, security, and well-being of the peoples of the Pacific.

This is nonsense. Climate change “arrived” when the atmosphere first formed billions of years ago. It has changed — sometimes quickly, sometime slowly — ever since. To say this is the “greatest threat to the people of the Pacific” ignores the results of studies such as the Copenhagen Consensus, which demonstrated how problems such as malnutrition, disease, sanitation and water supply, lack of electricity, education, terrorism, and other concerns easily trump the hypothetical future concern of dangerous human-caused climate change."

This quote from the article above is the spot-on truth, and not only about the Pacific region about about the world as a whole. The entire global warming hoax, now known as 'climate change', is nothing but a wasteful diversion of important resources from the meaningful problems in the world.

The climate change mantra chanters know that no matter how much time, money and effort they waste on this issue that they are not going to impact the 'climate' one iota. That is exactly why they have latched on to this fraudulent issue - so they can spend tremendous amounts of time, money and effort while actually doing nothing meaningful.

By doing so, those people who claim to 'care' so much about all of the rest of us can avoid dealing with the real problems we face here on earth, the problems listed in the quote above. These liberal 'save the world' people couldn't care less about saving the world, they just want to talk the talk while doing nothing to walk the walk. They are huge hypocrites and should actually be held criminally liable for defrauding the general populace under the guise of 'climate change'.
